My Fummins Project
Alright Guys, I am new here. I am building a Fummins. I am redoing my 1979 Ford F-150 and doing a Cummins Diesel swap with it. I am having trouble with how I want to reinforce my frame. I need Ideas! Boxing the frame possibly? and putting heavier duty suspension on it? Thanks!!!

NICE !!! Congratulations on diving into a project like this. You've got your work cut out for you.
I know, I married a 2001 GMC chassis to a 1957 Chev truck.
Boxing the frame is a good idea.. but if you can, I would leave that Cummins on the chassis it belongs on and adapt the 1979 Ford F-150 to that chassis.
This way you are getting the security in knowing the frame won't crack plus the bonus of having a late model ride and braking system
Keep us updated on your project
